| Note that the follwing numbers all depend on the settings of the Monte Carlo generator (Pythia, in this case), as none of the quantities has been measured to a high accuracy at the LHC energy. | Note that the follwing numbers all depend on the settings of the Monte Carlo generator (Pythia, in this case), as none of the quantities has been measured to a high accuracy at the LHC energy. | ||

| The cut that is applied in Pythia to generate events that mostly decay in the LHCb detector (angular acceptance of 400mrad) is about 34.7% for B mesons and 43.2% for b bbar inclusive. | The cut that is applied in Pythia to generate events that mostly decay in the LHCb detector (angular acceptance of 400mrad) is about 34.7% for B mesons and 43.2% for b bbar inclusive. | ||
